I, unfortunately, don't have a scan tool. Guessing I won't get too far diagnosing it without that huh? It seems to be shifting okay anytime I was in the lower gears but up towards 60-70 mph is when it was struggling.
Appreciate the feedback. I'll just have to pony up the cash and get the code at the very least. ThanksBeing that you had just filled up, it possibly could be related to the gas you just put in.
Pretty much just guessing without the code.
If you happen to have an onstar subscription, you could could also push the blue button and ask and advisor what the error code is. This takes some time so a scan tool would be quicker.Appreciate the feedback. I'll just have to pony up the cash and get the code at the very least. Thanks
One of the codes wasBarometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance. P2227
Basically, it's very cold out and the turbo is having a hard time overcoming that is what the mechanic told me. It's supposed to get back into the 30s and 40s the next couple of days so hoping that will be better on the vehicle.
The top code was P0299 engine underboost along with the P2227.One of the codes wasBarometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance. P2227

Pay attention and address only the first code that is stored. Any following codes are generally a result of the primary code (#1)

It may clear up once the weather warms.With my limited knowledge of car mechanics, do you guys think those codes are something that will fix themselves with warm weather coming in(going from -20 to 40 degrees tomorrow)?
How long would you wait before taking it back into the mechanic? Definitely can still feel the "no boost" in my car when getting up to higher speeds.
Just an update if anyone is interested. Today the weather is about 25 degrees. A whopping 50 degree difference. I got a car wash and almost immediately after the car wash I had normal "boost" in my car. Almost positive stuff was just frozen with ice and couldn't perform.It may clear up once the weather warms.
It is not uncommon for frost to grow in the intercooler tubes.....especially if the car is being used for short trips.......this will affect turbo pressure as a obstruction.
There have been reports of PCV systems making frost as well.......I do not know what codes could come up if this was the case.
I would recommend not getting too excited till the weather is above freezing for a couple days.
